Political Earthquake! Elon Musk Launches the "America Party"
In a move that shakes the foundations of American politics, tech visionary Elon Musk has officially announced the creation of his own political party: the "America Party". This bold decision comes after a clear break with President Donald Trump and marks Musk's discontent with the current bipartisan system.
The explosive announcement was made on his platform X (formerly Twitter) on July 5, 2025. A day earlier, on U.S. Independence Day, Musk launched a poll asking his followers if they wanted "independence from the bipartisan system". The response was overwhelming: over 65% of 1.25 million voters supported the idea, leading him to declare: "Today, the America Party is formed to return your freedom!"
What Does This Mean for U.S. Politics?
This party arises from Musk's deep dissatisfaction with current politics, especially after he strongly criticized a recent tax and spending cut law signed by Trump, which he called "reckless spending". It is a direct confrontation to the dominance of Democrats and Republicans, whom Musk sees as a "one-party system" in many respects.
The initial goal of the "America Party" is not to conquer the presidency immediately, but to focus on key seats in Congress. They seek to obtain a "decisive vote" (2-3 in the Senate and 8-10 in the House of Representatives) that will allow them to influence critical legislation and force changes, particularly in reducing debt and more responsible government spending.
The Power of Elon Musk Behind the Party
With Elon Musk's immense fortune and influence, the "America Party" will have formidable financial backing, something that rarely happens with third parties in the United States. This gives it a real capacity to compete and be a disruptive force. Musk has mentioned a philosophy centered on reducing regulations, advancing artificial intelligence, freedom of speech, and pro-natalist policies, among others.
Does he qualify for the Presidency?
It is important to note that, although Musk has launched this party, he does not qualify to be President of the United States. The U.S. Constitution requires the president to be a "natural-born citizen," and Elon Musk is South African by birth. However, his influence and the power of his new party could redefine the political landscape for future elections.
This is not just a new party; it is a declaration of war on the political status quo of the nation. Elon Musk's "America Party" will seek to be a transformative force, and its evolution will undoubtedly be one of the most fascinating political topics in the coming years.
